Mary Trump, who is suing her uncle for financial fraud, penned the tell-all book, ‘Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,’ and it’s a revealing read. And since then, she’s dropped even more insight into Donald Trump’s unhinged, narcissistic mindset.
Mary Trump told Business Insider that her uncle’s Twitter ban likely upset him more than losing November’s presidential election to now-President Joe Biden. And we all know how badly Trump took his defeat to Biden. It’s not just the Twitter ban but also the PGA taking their tournament away from his golf courses that hit the former president hard, too.
“I think that being banned from Twitter and having the PGA take their tournament away from his golf courses are probably the worst things that have happened to him in the last four years,” she told the outlet.
“How is he managing without Twitter? Because even he must realize that people really aren’t paying attention to him in the same way,” Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, said.

Mary Trump also says that her uncle is pleased with his grip on the Republican party.
“Clearly, this stuff with the Republican party is helping him because imagine if he didn’t have that,” she said. “If he had become as irrelevant as every other person who loses an election becomes, then I think his mental state would be much different.”
Mary’s comments are similar to those by Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, who said in January, “He’s angry about impeachment, people who have spoken to him say. But the reaction to the PGA decision was a different order of magnitude.”
Mary Trump doesn’t see her uncle launching a 2024 run, telling the outlet that the former president was merely using the possibility of running to “keep grifting” from his supporters.
“It’s all about maintaining the grip on power,” she said. “He thinks on some level it’s going to allow him to continue to operate with impunity as he has done his whole life, and also it’s going to allow him to keep grifting money off of people.”
